1) Hearing on HB1250 is still scheduled for Tues. March 1, 2011 after adjournment of the full House. Exact time is still unknown, but best guess is after 10am. Call the Capitol Bill Room for any last minute changes.
(303) 866-3055
2) Room for the hearing has been changed to the Old Supreme Court Chambers, on the second floor of the state Capitol Building in Denver, due to CTIs request for better handicapped accommodation.
3) Bill does ban edibles! There have been some rumors going on that HB1250 does not really ban edibles, only tinctures and ointments. This is false. The rumor is probably due to a misreading of the bill. The bill amends the definition of "medical marijuana infused product" created by the legislature in 2010. The bill deletes the words "edible products" and "consumption" from the definition, thus removing edible products from the definition of "medical marijuana infused product" and making them illegal. Only "medical marijuana infused products" as defined in the statute are legal. Since it removes these words from the definition, it makes edible products ILLEGAL. The bill further includes new language that says the definition of a medical marijuana infused product "does not include a food or beverage that is ingested by oral consumption." This sentence REMOVES food and beverages from the definition of "medical marijuana infused products", thus prohibiting them and making them illegal.
There will be last minute changes to the bill. At the hearing for HB1043, citizens were not allowed to see these changes at the hearing. Be prepared for anything.
